Although Mr. Zhang's eyesight is not as good as that of a professional connoisseur, he comes from a prominent family.
I've seen a lot of good stuff.
Following Lin Han these days, I have seen and touched more, and my eyesight for observing objects has also improved a lot.
He held the flower pot, looked left and right, and then exclaimed in a low voice:
“Could it be an official kiln?”
Lin Han picked up another flower pot and looked at it for more than a minute before speaking:
“Ge Kiln of Southern Song Dynasty.”
Mr. Zhang's pupils shrank suddenly, and his already bright eyes seemed to be lit like a lamp.
"real?"
He uttered twice.
"Lin Han! You have found a treasure!"
Only a few Ge Kiln pieces from the Southern Song Dynasty have survived to this day, some have been damaged or lost, even those belonging to monarchs, princes and generals of successive dynasties.
It can only be obtained by chance.
Especially objects like flower pots, which are difficult to preserve, are even more so.
According to records, the existing official kiln flower pots are all treasured in the Shangjing Museum.
There are only about fifty of them, and only four or five of them are from Ge kiln.
And now, Lin Han has a pair in his hands!
Mr. Zhang sighed for a long time, then looked again and again with his reading glasses, muttering to himself:
"I've also heard from my grandfather that the wares of Ge Kiln are pure and simple. They have the neatness and elegance of the official kilns, and they also show the simplicity and heaviness of the craftsmen..."
"Now it seems that it is true!"
Lin Han nodded, sat on the sofa far away and admired the flower pot in full view.
At the same time, they were also thinking about their way out.
Lin Han didn't want to keep them in the store.
Although antique shops will accept any item, regardless of its type, as long as it is authentic.
But there is always a range.
If the categories are too complicated, it will be detrimental to the operation.
After thinking for a while, he asked Mr. Zhang: "What do you think should be done with this pair of flower pots?"
Mr. Zhang looked back at him, without any surprise on his face.
It was as if he had known from the beginning that Lin Han would not keep the pair of flower pots.
"I think we should take it to Shangjing."
This was something Lin Han didn't expect.
"Why go to Beijing?"
Mr. Zhang leaned back in his chair and answered seriously:
"Although Siping City is rich and there are many celebrities in the antique circle, Lin Han, you still have the support of Yan Shi..."
"But your ambition is definitely not to be an antique shop owner, so let's go to Shangjing. With your ability, it will only take half a year for you to make a name for yourself in Shangjing!"
Mr. Zhang’s words touched Lin Han.
As a businessman, his goal is to make profit.
For the same Ge kiln flowerpot, the selling price in Shangjing is definitely higher than that in Siping.
Moreover, Mr. Zhang was right about one thing. Lin Han really didn't just want to be a small boss.
Otherwise, he would not have challenged the Shu family!
"Then... let's go to Beijing for a walk?"
Mr. Zhang clapped his hands.
"That's it! I couldn't ask for more, old man!"
Just do it.
Lin Han packed up the Yongle Chicken Heart Bowl and the two flower pots that he had brought from the last appreciation conference.
Still worried, he put a sturdy wooden box outside.
It was after ten o'clock in the evening before everything was cleaned up.
The next day, Lin Han wanted to say hello to Shen Nianyi and ask her to help look after the store first.
I went to Beijing with Mr. Zhang.
Shen Nianyi agreed at first, but after meeting Huangfu Xue, she changed her mind.
Shen Nianyi clearly said that if Huangfu Xue went to the capital with her, she would go too.
She would only help if Huangfu Xue stayed to look after the store.
Lin Han had no choice but to take them with him.
The four of them drove two cars and arrived in Shangjing at around eight o'clock in the evening.
Found a hotel and settled down.
The next morning, the four of them took chicken heart bowls and flower pots and headed straight for the Antique Street.
Shangjing Antique Garden, although its layout and shape are very similar to those in Siping City.
But the scale is much larger.
Not to mention the antique shops that are lined up next to each other, Panjiayuan alone is more than two or three times larger than Siping City.
Lin Han and his companions came here relatively seldom, so they walked around and stopped frequently, looking at many stalls.
However, after walking around, Lin Han came to a conclusion:
Although Panjiayuan is larger than Siping Antique Market, there are only two genuine items in it.
If you want to find a bargain, it’s even harder than in Siping City.
Whether it is the stall owners or the buyers here, they are all experienced people who have been in this business for many years.
How can we let the new outsiders take advantage of us?
"Let's go to the store and have a look. If the price is right, we can go and buy it. We don't have to waste time here."
Shen Nianyi was still brooding over Lin Han's plan to take Huangfu Xue to the capital yesterday, and she spoke with a hint of anger.
Huangfu Xue smiled and agreed with Shen Nianyi's opinion.
"Yes, you can go shopping anytime."
Seeing her like this, Shen Nianyi no longer felt embarrassed to be angry, and her expression and eyes softened a lot.
Lin Han, who was caught in the middle, looked at Mr. Zhang helplessly.
Mr. Zhang spread his hands, indicating that he could do nothing to help.
The four of them came out of the market and saw the three big characters "Fu Rui Xiang" on the door from afar.
Further down, there is a two-story facade with wide floor-to-ceiling windows above and mahogany chairs inside.
Several old men who looked like experts were drinking tea and chatting leisurely.
The first floor is the store, which also has large glass windows so you can see inside clearly.
"Let's go with Fu Ruixiang! He looks quite capable!"
Lin Han made a decision, and the group followed him and walked towards Fu Ruixiang.
As soon as I entered the door, a young man who looked like a waiter came up.
He quickly glanced at Lin Han and the other three, and finally his gaze fell on the wooden box in Lin Han and Old Zhang's hands.
Then he smiled and greeted:
"Four distinguished guests have come from afar. Do you want to sell your collection?"
Hearing him say this, Lin Han couldn't help but look at him again.
This guy really has some vision.
Lin Han and Zhang Lao sat down, looked around and asked the young man how he knew they came from far away.
"Look at the wooden boxes in the hands of the distinguished guests. They must be afraid of being bumped. This shows that the collection inside is precious. It also shows that you are all from other places."
Lin Han couldn't help but smile.
"Good eyesight! I hope your boss has a keen eye like yours!"
The young man understood Lin Han's meaning, walked to the cubicle, and called out a man who looked like a manager.
The man looked very polite.
However, without seeing the thing, he was not sure whether he should entertain Lin Han and his friends seriously.
"What collections do you four have? I can help you take a look."
Lin Han intended to test him, and signaled Mr. Zhang to take out the dozen copper coins he had collected some time ago.
Almost every household can afford a few copper coins.
Especially the copper coins from the Qing Dynasty, there are many of them left in the world.
So it's not worth much.
The only thing that can be sold for a little money is the Five Emperors' Copper Coins.
The Five Emperors' Copper Coins of the Qing Dynasty generally refer to the Five Emperors' Coins of the Qing Dynasty, which are the copper coins circulated during the reigns of Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, these Five Emperors copper coins are only slightly more expensive than ordinary Qing Dynasty copper coins.
But it is far from comparable to other precious antiques.
Not to mention, compared with the real Five Emperors copper coins.
The Five Great Emperors are Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, Emperor Taizu of Song Zhao Kuangyin, and Emperor Chengzu of Ming Zhu Di.
The Qin Banliang of the Qin Dynasty, the Han Wuzhu of the Han Dynasty, the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty, the Song Yuan Tongbao of the Song Dynasty and the Yongle Tongbao of the Ming Dynasty are collectively known as the Five Emperors' Coins.
